Ben Carson, the former pediatric neurosurgeon who’s building a following among conservatives, says the “likelihood is strong” that he’ll mount a presidential bid in 2016 – that is, if elections actually take place.

On Fox News Radio last week, Carson suggested elections may not take place two years from now because “there may be so much anarchy going on.”

He then went on to repeat his 2016 Campaign slogan, “Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs!”, “Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs!”.

Texas Governor Rick Perry warned a packed DC audience at DC’s Heritage Foundation headquarters Thursday that without swift action, terrorists from groups like the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) will “slip across our un-secure border.” In a speech linking the immigration reform debate to the current crisis in Iraq, Perry claimed there is “a very real possibility” that terrorists have already entered the country by crossing the desert from Mexico.

Perry cited only one anecdote to back up this claim: the recent detention at the border of a Ukrainian national. But she wasn’t a terrorist. She was the wife of a US marine.
